Summary

The Apache Libcloud versions 0.12.3 to 0.13.2 contain a vulnerability where the scrub_data parameter is not set when destroying a DigitalOcean virtual machine. This oversight allows local users to potentially gain access to sensitive information by exploiting the DigitalOcean API during the VM destruction process. The lack of proper handling of this parameter can lead to unintended data exposure and highlights the importance of secure API implementations.
